The Hilton surfers, the facilities are good,but just feels a little sterile compared with other 5 star resorts on the GC. The only other discerning thing is the food, for the prices asked I would expect a lot more, serving size was small and I don't want to pay restaurant prices for in room dining, I get it, its the Hilton but give us some value for money.

We have booked this hotel according to our past experience in other hilton hotels, as well as their good location in surfers paradise and also the nice design from the pictures on the web. But I was very disappointed when i arrive. First of all, when our car arrive in the front door and my wife and I were trying to remove luggages from the car, no staff came up and offered to help and we need to pull the luggages inside the lobby. We arrived very early so we asked if there is any chance that we can check in earlier. The staff just simply said no without even looking at anything she could do. And it ended up we did wait until 3pm to check in (we arrived the hotel at 7am) The materials in the rooms are far far below a 5 stars hotel comparing to any hotel we live in the world. The switches are just very simply switch we dont even use at home, the showers are very badly design with the drainage in the center of the shower top. the TV is on the left hand side of the bed so we need to turn our head to watch the TVs when we were lying on the bed. The Bed is dirty and the staff didnt change the cover even there is suspected blood on it. (not ours!) And the worst thing is, i have never lived in a 5 star hotel which need me to walk to the entrance to turn off the light (there is no switch next to the bed) one thing we looking forward to in Gold Coast was sunshine and swimming pool, and we only spent 5 minutes in the pool area because it is so small that the coaches for us to lay down is dirty. And then i went to the gym, and it has no window, and looks more like a highschool gym than a 5 star hotel. The staff is very rude. When my wife was asking for 2 wifi password (which she didnt know only one is assigned to each room), the staff in the lobby scold her in a very bad attitute. Shameful. The so called "hot line" took up to 5 minutes for an answer. And these all made a worse impression given i have already picked the upper standard Relaxation Room, which i see no way to relax in such a bad serviced, designed hotel. To conclude, i will NEVER live in this hotel if i ever go to Gold Coast again, and it created serious hesitation for me and my wife to stay in any hilton hotel.

Great hotel for couples. The rooms could be bigger and can be a bit noisy of a night on the weekends, but overall it's a great hotel. Make sure your package includes access to the Executive Lounge. It has great views, food and alcohol.

First experience with this place and after paying nearly $800 per night I won't be doing it again. Pulling up I struggled to find the valet parking area as advertised so after maneuvering around the courtesy bus blocking the car park drive way finally parked the car in the basement and lugged 7 bags up to reception with out a trolley. Checked in and went to my apartment only to step into the corridor from the lift to an unbelievable smell of wet carpet and rubbish which also wafted continually into my "luxury" apartment. No oven trays iPod Dock would not work and kept awake at 4 o'clock in the morning with a group of teenagers having a skulking competition a couple of floors down. Definitely will not recommend or be back.

$800 for one night in a 3 bedroom apartment - nothing to cook with or on, no tea towels, carpet in foyer out of lift stunk to high heaven, 4 towels for 6 people, place wasn't overly clean and in 2 of the bedrooms, the beds were incredibly small to sleep 2 people. When we had to call 4 times for extra kitchen stuff, towels etc we were met with questions as to why we would need kitchen stuff and extra towels??

Yes, we were on the 28th floor with a fantastic ocean view but it was NOT WORTH $800!!!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful but that was the best part of the stay. I would never recommend this as an option, we would have preferred to stay somewhere cheaper that actually met the rooms so called 'ammenites'.

Never again!

I must admit after reading all the reviews on this site, i was a bit nervous prior to our arrival.

Our family stayed for four nights in a 2 bedroom SKY residence and had an incredible experience. parking was a breeze (yes, it costs 15 per day, but what hotel do you stay in that does not charge for parking?). we arrived early, the room was available and we were sent right up. the room was clean, quiet (43rd floor, orchid tower), and was well equipped.

the location is outstanding, just a short walk to anything you would need.

I cannot understand all the negative reviews of this place. i experienced none of what has been described by some of you on this site.

I would recommend the hotel to anyone with reasonable expectations.

Everything was perfect, the hotel is beautiful and the location and view were amazing. The only problem we encountered was when we decided to smoke weed on the balcony, there wasn't a single chair to sit on, so we had to sit on the floor. You'd think a hotel with such prestige would at least have some chairs on the balcony.
